[quote=Anonymous]I'm not PP, but I agree with him/her. It is the is that way a lot of people see and it is common phenomenon called donor fatigue. It happens when your donor base is drained dry because you fail to expand fundraising to a broader base. Expansion is possible for this, but not easy. There aren't a lot of deep-pocketed donors out there who want to fund such poor cost-benefit proposition. There are other factors stacked against this fundraising including that the school is already Tier 1 and there are only 20% FARMS. These points matter greatly when applying for grants and sponsors because corporations will often target charitable giving to the neediest or the ones who have the biggest challenges to overcome. Couple that with the cost and consider that for the price of one child to go on the trip a similarly sized grant could purchase 300 books for the library, and you begin to get a glimpse of how grant managers think.
